Abstract:
A crosslinkable polyethylene-based composition useful for rotational molding and, when cured, beneficially characterized by exceptional percent elongation after long term exposure to degradation conditions, is provided. The composition advantageously includes a polyalkylene terephthalate as a polymeric additive.
Abstract:
A cross-linkable polyethylene-based composition useful for rotational molding and, when cured, characterized by exceptional percent elongation after long term exposure to degradation conditions, is provided. The cured composition has a high degree of crosslinking which may be a more random type of crosslinking.
Abstract:
Combination of a polyolefin; a crosslinking agent; a halogenated phosphorous-nitrogen compound having the formula ##STR1## where R' is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl radicals having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, R is a cyano alkyl radical having 2 to 6 carbon atoms and X is chlorine, bromine, or iodine; ammonium polyphosphate; and hexachlorocyclopentadiene dimer yields a composition which is strong, fire-retardant and also strongly adherent to certain surfaces including aluminum.
Abstract:
An improved stabilizer system for crosslinkable polyolefins consisting of a dialkyl pentaerythritol diphosphite and a sulfur-containing compound selected from the group consisting of the diester of thiodipropionic acid and a bis(3-hydroxy-4-alkyl-2,6-dimethylbenzyl) dithiolterephthalate, and an improved crosslinkable polyolefin composition comprising this stabilizer system.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a load-bearing structure having interlockable peripheral edges. The peripheral edges provide at least one pair of upper and lower offsets. Each offset includes a plurality of spaced apart projections.
Abstract:
A composition useful for rotational molding and method of rotomolding are provided. The composition advantageously includes particulate matter of significantly different sizes. A first polymer is provided as particulate matter of one size, and a second polymer is provided as particulate matter of a smaller size. During rotomolding, the first polymer forms an inner layer and the second polymer forms an outer layer. Beneficially, foaming may be provided during rotomolding to foam the inner layer.
Abstract:
Resinous pigment concentrates comprising at least one pigment and a dispersing additive of a naphthenic extender oil and/or a phosphate ester blended with a major portion of a resinous polymer containing a significant proportion of at least one polymerized conjugated diene monomer, when used for coloring resinous polymers as described, are effective in reducing such defects in finished articles as gels and surface blemishes.
Abstract:
A filled arylene sulfide polymer composition is provided in which at least 30 weight percent of the total composition is arylene sulfide polymer, up to about 65 weight percent of the total composition is filler material chosen from glass filler and at least one mineral filler and containing a property modifying amount of up to about 12 weight percent of the total composition of a solid, resinous butadiene/styrene block compolymer having the vinyl content in the range of about 10 to about 14 percent based on the polybutadiene segment of the copolymer. The physical characteristics of a filled arylene sulfide polymer composition containing at least 30 weight percent of the total composition of arylene sulfide polymer and up to about 65 weight percent of the total composition of fillers comprising glass fibers and at least one mineral filler are improved by the addition of a property modifying amount of up to about 12 weight percent of the total composition of a solid, resinous butadiene/styrene block copolymer having a vinyl content in the range of about 10 to about 14 percent based on the polybutadiene segment of the copolymer.
